In a stunning display of cricketing prowess, Mustakim Haoladar, a student of Cambrian School and College, has etched his name in the annals of history by scoring a phenomenal 404 runs in a single one-day match. This incredible feat not only shattered numerous records but also left the cricket world in awe. Mustakim’s unbeaten 404-run innings was punctuated by 50 fours and 22 sixes, with a staggering 332 runs coming from boundaries alone. This remarkable achievement makes him the first cricketer in recognized Bangladeshi cricket to surpass the 400-run mark in a single innings.
At just 9th grade, Mustakim is already making waves in the cricketing world. The match, played at the Dhaka University Cricket Ground, was a district-level school cricket encounter that doesn’t fall under the official cricket category. However, Mustakim’s mesmerizing performance has sent shockwaves through both Bangladeshi and world cricket. Notably, he batted through the entire 50-over innings, opening the batting and remaining unbeaten until the end.
Mustakim’s incredible 404-run knock lasted 4 hours and 20 minutes, coming off just 170 balls at a strike rate of over 237. In a format where teams often celebrate reaching 350, Mustakim’s historic innings has set new benchmarks for the cricketing world. Partnering with captain Soaad Parvez, he forged a monumental 699-run partnership that will be remembered for ages to come.
Captain Parvez himself was unbeaten on 256, scored off 124 balls at a blistering strike rate of 206, with 32 fours and 13 sixes. This partnership, which proved to be a career-best for both batsmen, propelled Cambrian School and College to a gargantuan total of 770 runs. The opposing team, St. Gregory, was skittled out for a mere 32 runs in 11.2 overs, as Cambrian School and College romped home to a record-breaking 738-run victory.
This victory not only underscored the batting prowess of Mustakim and his team but also highlighted their dominance in the bowling department. As the cricket world continues to buzz with excitement over this incredible achievement, one thing is certain – Mustakim Haoladar is a name to watch out for in the years to come. With his remarkable talent and dedication, he is poised to make a significant impact on the world of cricket, and his record-breaking innings will be remembered as a testament to his extraordinary skill and perseverance.
